There are some great ideas coming out of this thread!
We're still pretty new and it's hard to tell what out of the few things that we've done have been working or not. And I realize this will not work for many of your sites, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.
One thing we've managed to do is sign up some local resellers of Apple products to give our members a discount (presently 5% but we hope to be able to get more in the future).
Since we have registered users on our site that are not user group members we try to entice them to become members. At the beginning of every month we send out a coupon for the same 5% off that members get to a random selection of 10 registered users who are not user group members. Each coupon is individually numbered and is valid for one month. So far we've done it for three months and at least got a few new members out of it.
For those interested in the techy part of it, we wrote a little simple PHP/MySQL app that uses our web site database (vBulletin) and takes care of the selection of users to email to, creation of coupons, and finally emails the coupons as well.
Take care
Magnus
